I would paint those puppies barn white on the inside and outside (though i like patina, even barnish patina!)and then slightly pad the back, laying a vintage fabric over it; using pearl headed pins I would then pin up my necklaces & jewelry that seem to get tangled over and over and over again while laying in my jewelry box...then i would hang those up in my personal bathroom, so i can use my jewelry a lot more, because i can see them! I could even see myself looping my bracelets over the glass knob on top...
But its pretty obvious your daughter knows you well!
I just found the perfect project for you on Pinterest! I hope this link works. I'm running out the door but I wanted to share it while I was thinking about it!

isn't it great when your kids give you what you really love!
I would paint them❤
I think they and your daughter are all great. Neither my kids or my husband understand my decorating love.
I would paint them in primary colors because I love lots of color.
Have fun!

Well, because they are water stained and don't have any cool graphics on them I would probably paint them. Your call~ xo Diana
I think it's super cool that you have somebody giving you gifts with such a good eye! I would love to get stuff like that!
It's so special when our children give us gifts that they know we will love - even if they're not 'normal'. NICE!

I know you'll do something fun with them! I'm still hoping to make a few cubbies like yours.

My family really needs to get on the "buy mom junk" train. I would be so happy.
